With all respect, any amplifier has to deal with "the bizarre impedance curves found in many hifi loudspeakers". Yes, OTLs generally require lots of output tubes in parallel in order to transfer adequate power into low impedance speakers. But the upstream circuitry is usually no more complex than that of any tube amplfier, and the elimination of the output transformer IMO lessens the complexity of the output stage compared to OTC amplifiers, apart from paralleling tubes.
